As you all have said, Wally Burr's contribution to GI Joe cannot be overstated. I've heard some interesting stories about him over the years (if you haven't heard Rob Paulsen's podcast on voice acting, I highly recommend it), and he seemed like an excellent man, not just in talent, but in character. Here is Neil Ross (Shipwreck) speaking about him (I hope the link works): https://youtu.be/fqy1Wut-roY?t=4m35s
RIP, Wally Burr - A Real American Hero (he was a WWII vet).

Wally Burr like many others on here really made up my childhood. I know that sounds cliché but I watch Transformers and GI Joe religiously when I was a kid. RIP Mr. Burr and thanks.

Very sad to hear this. I was fortunate enough to see him at conventions and he was terrific. His work had an influence on many of our childhoods back in the 80s! Rest In Peace sir.
